Last Great Sci-Fi Film?

So, I was thinking, what was the last GOOD sci-fi film based in space? Specifically one with a horror component? I mean, all of us here KNOW that Prometheus is going to be Legen-wait for it-freaking awesome, but think about it. When REALLY was the last GOOD film like it? Promethus will be epic to all of us space nerds, but what about to the general public? I mean, this film is going to turn on a whole, younger generation to the concept! Big things have small beginnings.

@Jim100a100 No, I should have said, science fiction or any movie involving complicated depth perception as in 3D. My bad, you are absolutely right, too broad a statement. I was wrong. I think you guys know what I meant though. Ridley Scott used different cameras for Prometheus because of it than he was going to originally . He also he will NEVER shoot any film with anything else ever again.

@HiveWarrior Dude, i wouldn't just make up something like that. Kubrick was a very, very sharp guy. Like the old truism says: "know thyself." ;) http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2000/may/05/1

a gift since some of you really really loved it... and I admit I liked it graphically speaking , just not the acting. I made these four forum banners for a friend who also loved that film. Thought you guys who liked that film would appreciate them.

Cool that there are apparantly a lot of "Forbidden Planet" fans on here. The whole movie screams *1950s!*......but that's only part of its' awesomeness.....well, that, and Leslie Nielsen. Have you ever seen the time he brought his "fart box" on "The Tonight Show?"

On the Riddick note i really liked Chronicles of Riddick and heard a third movie may be in the works. The 5th element IMO should rate up there in one of the classics of SCI -FI

Ian Holm fine Job acting in Alien but he did an equally fine job in the Fith Element. But thought Gary Oldmans Zorg character was just awesome. He is way under-appreciated.

@ artyoh Chronicles was a movie I had no interest in seeing at theaters and passed on mostly because of Pitch Black. When I watched the DVD I was so impressed with the movie I had to buy it. I hope they explore Riddick's origins more

Planets are cooler than outer space. Only so much you can do on a ship. Alien and 2001 are the only movies that have made it interesting, imo. Even Star Trek (TV) was only really interesting when they touched down. The 5th Elements was like something right out of Metal Hurlant. Starship Troopers was fun. Dumb, but fun.

If thinking interms of great, IMHO that still would be "Blade Runner". Good would be "The Thing", "Alien Ressurection", Fifth Element" and "12 Monkeys". Again, just MHO.
